Installation
Unpacking and Preparation
- Remove the soundbar from the carton and remove all packing. Save the packing material, if possible, in case the soundbar needs to be serviced or transported.
- Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.

Protect Your Furniture
- This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture.
- However certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften and leave marks or rubber residue on the furniture.
- To prevent any damage to your furniture, it is strongly recommended to purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centre everywhere and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the unit.
Location
Place your soundbar on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, out of direct sunlight and away from sources of excess heat, dirt, dust, moisture, humidity or vibration.
Table Mounting
- Place the soundbar horizontally on a flat surface such as a TV unit or shelves and align it centrally with the TV screen. Allow some space between the speaker and the wall. Don’t place inside a cabinet or on a walled shelf. Follow this guide for best sound output and good airflow around the soundbar.
Wall Mounting
Wall mounting should only be carried out by an experienced professional.
Install the speaker on a vertical, fast, reinforced area of the wall. For plaster walls, it is recommended to screw into wall studs for great security. For optimum performance, allow at least 25mm distance between the soundbar and the TV.
- Make 2 holes on the wall with distance same as the wall bracket on the soundbar.
- Put the plastic anchors onto the wall and secure the screws to the plastic clip, do not tighten the screws all the way and make sure you leave some space.
- Once the screws are securely fastened, hang the soundbar over by inserting the screws onto the wall mount bracket.
